KS2_Figure16_MATs

• Filename: KS2_Figure16_MATs.csv
• Geographic levels: National
• Time period: 2017/18

Variable names and descriptions

Variable names and descriptions for this file are provided below:

Variable name	Variable description
persize	Percentage of MATs by size
size	Size of MAT (number of schools) - Select the size of MAT you're interested in

Footnotes

1. MAT figures include eligible schools and eligible MATs only. Schools in MATs that are not eligible are excluded.
2. Figures may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding.

KS2_Figure3_MATs

• Filename: KS2_Figure3_MATs.csv
• Geographic levels: National
• Time period: 2017/18

Variable names and descriptions

Variable names and descriptions for this file are provided below:

Variable name	Variable description
band	Progress band - Select the progress band you're interested in
perband	Percentage of MATs in each banding
subject	Subject - Select the subject you're interested in

Footnotes

1. The methodology used to create these bandings has been aligned this year to the methodology used to produce school progress bandings. The MATs bandings are therefore not comparable to the MAT bandings in previous years.
2. MAT figures include eligible schools and eligible MATs only. Schools in MATs that are not eligible are excluded.
3. Figures may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding.

KS2_HeadlineBox_MATs

• Filename: KS2_HeadlineBox_MATs.csv
• Geographic levels: National
• Time period: 2017/18

Variable names and descriptions

Variable names and descriptions for this file are provided below:

Variable name	Variable description
mathlci	Maths progress in MATs confidence interval lower bound
maths	Maths progress score in MATs
mathuci	Maths progress in MATs confidence interval upper bound
reading	Reading progress score in MATs
readlci	Reading progress in MATs confidence interval lower bound
readuci	Reading progress in MATs confidence interval upper bound
writing	Writing progress score in MATs
writlci	Writing progress in MATs confidence interval lower bound
writuci	Writing progress in MATs confidence interval upper bound

Footnotes

1. MAT national figures are derived from pupil level data, not school level data, in line with the approach used to calculate national comparison figures used in the school performance tables. This means that no weighting has been applied in the MAT national figures, as the weights used to derive MAT level figures are school level weights, not pupil level.
2. MAT figures include eligible schools and eligible MATs only. Schools in MATs that are not eligible are excluded.

This means that no weighting has been applied in the MAT national figures, as the weights used to derive MAT level figures are school level weights, not pupil level.
2. For information on how confidence intervals are calculated refer to the quality and methodology document.
3. Characteristics information as published in the 2017/18 school performance tables.
4. MAT figures include eligible schools and eligible MATs only. Schools in MATs that are not eligible are excluded.
5. Low prior attainment (pupils with an average point score at key stage 1 > 0 and < 12), medium prior attainment (average point score ≥12 and <18) and high prior attainment (≥18).
